October is National Domestic Abuse Awareness Month, and I will be walking 100 Miles in October for Refuge.

On any given day, Refuge supports thousands of women and their children who are experiencing domestic abuse.

Your donation will save women's lives. Just £19 could pay for a call to the Helpline, supporting a woman as she takes her first step to safety and a life free from fear.

With the shocking statistics that 1 in 4 women have experienced domestic abuse or sexual violence, it really is time to raise more awareness and financially support the charities helping them.

I am one of those 1 in 4 women and am lucky enough that this is now in the past.

On average, domestic abuse victims experience 50 incidents of abuse before they get effective help – often living in fear for years, as they suffer repeated harassment, coercion, financial subjugation, verbal abuse and physical, sometimes sexual, violence.

If you can, please donate whatever you can. Every contribution makes a real difference. And if you’re unable to donate, sharing this page would mean just as much.

Thank you for your support 💜
